2014-1-8 6 Clinical features • Clinical manifestations are related to osmotic water shift leading to increased ICF, specifically brain swell or cerebral edema. Therefore, the symptoms are primarily neurologic and their severity is dependent on the rapidity of onset and absolute decrease in plasma [Na+]. • Symptoms include headache, lethargy, seizures, and a progressively decreased level of consciousness that can progress to coma and death. • The severity of these neurologic manifestations depends more on the rate of the hypotonic decline in plasma sodium concentration. • If a patient survives the acute hyponatremia, osmotic adaptation tends to mitigate the symptoms of cerebral edema. Treatment • Treatment of hyponatremia varies depending on the category and underlying diagnosis • It is the importance of identifying and treating any underlying disorder • The sodium concentration and the rate of correction should be guided by the patient’s age, gender, neurologic status, and any information about recent past plasma sodium concentrations or osmolality values

2014-1-8 7 • Delayed correction of hyponatremia can perpetuate cerebral edema and result in irreversible neurologic damage and death. • In contrast, too rapid correction can result in the osmotic demyelination syndrome, which can be fatal, and recovery in nonfatal cases is either slow or incomplete, often with irreversible residual neurologic sequelae Acute Hypotonic Hyponatremia (<24 to 48 hours) • If patient is accompanied by severe neurologic symptoms such as seizures or decreased level of consciousness, correction should be rapid and should reach a target sodium concentration. • The desired rise in sodium concentration should not exceed 2 mmol/L/hour, and the total increase in sodium concentration during the first 12 to 24 hours of treatment should not exceed 12 mmol/L. Chronic Hyponatremia • In such cases, the targeted rate of increase in sodium concentration should not exceed 0.5 mmol/L/hour, and the total rise in sodium concentration should not exceed 8 mmol/L in the first 24 hours • Water restriction is helpful in euvolemic patients Normovolemic hyponatremia • In patients with normovolemic hyponatremia, the appropriate therapeutic approach is to address the underlying disease • Water restriction • V2 receptor antagonist Hypovolemic Hypotonic Hyponatremia • When hypovolemia is clearly evident, administration of volume repletion in the form of isotonic saline is the treatment of choice – appropriate clinical history, – orthostatic hypotension, – low urine sodium concentration in the setting of extrarenal fluid losses, – elevated plasma urea and uric acid concentrations • Great caution should be exercised in the administration of isotonic saline to these patients because sometimes the administration of small volumes of isotonic saline can induce a brisk and rapid decrease in urine osmolality

2014-1-8 8 Treatment • Treat the underlying disease, if possible. • Fluid restriction. • Oral or intravenous sodium chloride in patients with true volume depletion. • Sodium chloride administration is also effective in patients the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) using either oral salt tablets or hypertonic saline. • In contrast, isotonic saline is often not effective and may worsen the hyponatremia in SIADH • Administration of a vasopressin receptor antagonist Hypernatremia • Hypernatremia, defined as a plasma sodium concentration greater than 144 mmol/L, always reflects a state of hypertonicity. Causes of Hypernatremia • Hypovolemia: associated with low total body sodium – losses of both Na+ and water, but with a relatively greater loss of water • Hypervolemia: associated with increased total body sodium – administration of hypertonic solutions such as 3% NaCl, NaHCO3. – Therapeutic hypernatremia: hypertonic saline solutions have emerged as a preferable alternative to mannitol for treatment of increased intracranial pressure. • Euvolemia: associated with normal body sodium – Most patients with hypernatremia secondary to water loss appear euvolemic with normal total body Na+ because loss of water without Na+ does not lead to overt volume contraction Diabetes insipidus (DI) • Characterized by polyuria and polydipsia • Caused by defects in vasopressin action. • Patients with central and nephrogenic DI and primary polydipsia present with polyuria and polydipsia. • The differentiation between these entities can be accomplished by clinical evaluation, with measurements of – vasopressin levels and – the response to a water deprivation test followed by vasopressin administration • Central Diabetes Insipidus • Congenital Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus • Acquired Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus Clinical Manifestations • Signs and symptoms mostly relate to the CNS and include altered mental status, lethargy, irritability, restlessness, seizures (usually in children), muscle twitching, hyperreflexia, and spasticity. • Fever, nausea or vomiting, labored breathing, and intense thirst can also occur. • In adults, serum Na+ concentrations above 160 mmol/l are associated with a 75% mortality, although this may reflect associated comorbidities rather than hypernatremia per se
